It's been dropping below freezing most nights still, but I don't think
we'll hit the single digits. At least I hope not! I'm not sure we made
it much above freezing today, though. Mighty chilly for the second week
of April!
I don't have more than an inch of growth on any irises yet. I'm amazed
you have as much growth as you do. Even with my minimal growth, I can
see how unhappy the emerging foliage is with our prolonged cool temps.
